Examples

Here’s an example you can use to learn about this class:

>>> from gammapy.irf import Background3D
>>> filename = '$GAMMAPY_DATA/cta-1dc/caldb/data/cta/1dc/bcf/South_z20_50h/irf_file.fits'
>>> bkg_3d = Background3D.read(filename, hdu='BACKGROUND')
>>> print(bkg_3d)

Methods Documentation

evaluate(fov_lon, fov_lat, energy_reco, method='linear', **kwargs)

Evaluate at given FOV position and energy.

Parameters

fov_lon, fov_latAngle

FOV coordinates expecting in AltAz frame.

energy_recoQuantity

energy on which you want to interpolate. Same dimension than fov_lat and fov_lat

methodstr {‘linear’, ‘nearest’}, optional

Interpolation method

kwargsdict

option for interpolation for RegularGridInterpolator

Returns

arrayQuantity

Interpolated values, axis order is the same as for the NDData array

evaluate_integrate(fov_lon, fov_lat, energy_reco, method='linear', **kwargs)

Integrate in a given energy band.

Parameters

fov_lon, fov_latAngle

FOV coordinates expecting in AltAz frame.

energy_reco: `~astropy.units.Quantity`

Reconstructed energy edges.

method{‘linear’, ‘nearest’}, optional

Interpolation method

Returns

arrayQuantity

Returns 2D array with axes offset

classmethod from_hdulist(hdulist, hdu='BACKGROUND')

Create from HDUList.

classmethod from_table(table)

Read from Table.

peek(figsize=(10, 8))

classmethod read(filename, hdu='BACKGROUND')
